Graduation to Feature Three Sessions/Truman State University[트루먼주립대,검정고시유학]
Due to major renovations scheduled at Stokes Stadium through late summer, spring commencement will involve three separate ceremonies, May 13 in Pershing Arena, and will feature three different speakers.
The first ceremony will begin at 9 a.m., and Cole Woodcox, professor of English and next director of the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges (COPLAC), will give the address. Mindy McCubbin (’97), director of equity investments at Shelter Insurance Companies in Columbia, Mo., is the scheduled speaker for the second ceremony at 1 p.m. The final session will take place at 4 p.m. with Michael Schwend (’83, ’90), president of Preferred Family Healthcare giving the address.
Having three ceremonies allows the University to accommodate the large number of graduates, as well as their families and friends. Tickets will not be required for any of the ceremonies. For those who are not able to attend the ceremony, it will be live streamed on the Truman website at livestream.com/tmn. There will also be space available for viewing in the Student Union Building, but be aware that the weather can impact the audio and video signal quality of both the graduation display on the campus televisions and the web stream.
Graduates and their guests are encouraged to use the following hashtags on social media during the lead up to graduation and through the ceremonies: #TrumanGraduation #TrumanGrad #BulldogForever.
